Modeling and measurement of 2.44 GHz and 900 MHz radio propagation in corridors

Theoretical models used to predict radio propagation in a corridor are developed. The models are based on the ray-tracing technique and electromagnetic theories of reflection, transmission and diffraction. The computed path loss is compared with the measured value of 900 MHz and 2.44 GHz radio propagation in a hallway and gives a reasonable agreement. The major mechanisms of propagation along the hallway are governed by the wall and floor reflections and the line-of-sight propagation.
